Changes - Phil Ochs

G         A             D            Em
Sit by my side, come as close as the air,
G          A         Bm         Em           A
Share in a memory of grace, and wander in my words,
D               Em      Em        A        D
Dream about the pictures that I play, of changes.

G         A             D            Em
Green leaves of summer, turn red in the fall,
G          A         Bm         Em           A
To brown and to yellow they fade, and then they have to die,
D               Em       Em       A        D
Trapped within the circle time parade, of changes.

G         A             D            Em
Scenes of my young years were warm in my mind,
G          A         Bm         Em           A
Visions of shadows that chime, 'til one day I returned, and
D               Em       Em         A        D
found they were the victims of the vines, of changes. The

G         A             D            Em
world spinning madly, it drifts in the dark,
G          A         Bm         Em           A
Swings through a hollow of haze, a race around that stars, a
D               Em       Em       A        D
journey through the universe ablaze, with changes.

G         A             D            Em
Moments of magic will glow in the night, all
G          A         Bm         Em           A
fears of the forest are gone, and when the moment breaks, They're
D               Em       Em       A        D
swept away by golden drops of dawn, of changes.

G         A             D            Em
Passions will part, to a strange melody, as
G          A         Bm         Em           A
fires will sometimes burn cold, like petals in the wind,
D               Em       Em       A        D
We're puppets to the silver strings of souls, of changes. Your

G         A             D            Em
tears will be trembling, not here, somewhere else, one
G          A         Bm         Em           A
last cup of wine we will pour, and I'll kiss you one more time
D               Em      Em         A        D
And leave you on the rolling river shore, of changes. So

G         A             D            Em
sit by my side, come as close as the air,
G          A         Bm         Em           A
Share in a memory of grace, and wander in my words,
D               Em      Em        A        D
Dream about he pictures that I play, of changes.
